Performance Analysis of PV Module With Hybrid MPPT And Conventional MPPT Technique

Abstract

Environmental friendly energy production has always been a matter of concern which has gone through various researches, and among those, most of the focus has been given to the utilization of renewable energy efficiently and among various renewable energy sources, solar energy has been kept on the higher priority because of its availability with an ease on large scale. So, enhancement in the performance of solar Photo-Voltaic(PV) system should be a matter of concern. For this, various Maximum Power Point Tracking(MPPT) techniques known to us, but now, its performance can be enhanced further if it is used along-with Artificial Neural Network(ANN). This article presents a comparative study between conventional Perturb and Observe (PnO) MPPT and ANN based hybrid MPPT systems.
